A zero responder is a bystander who helps during an emergency before medical professionals arrive. In mass casualty events, like a natural disaster, terrorist attack, or accident, zero responders can play a vital role in preventing harm, reporting the crisis, and providing first aid.
Here are some things a zero responder can do: Prevent harm, Report the crisis, Provide first aid, Help people evacuate, and Encourage others to evacuate.
In the event of severe bleeding, a zero responder can:
Prioritize those with severe bleeding
Apply direct pressure with a clean cloth or hands
Elevate the injured limb above the heart
Apply a tourniquet if direct pressure doesn’t work
Pack deep or large wounds with clean cloth or gauze
Stay calm and reassure the injured
Zero responders can make a significant difference in chaotic situations, even without formal medical training.
